An Amazing Week with Ian, Jared, and Jesse
October 22-30 We have been in charge of caring for these three grandchildren many times during their lifetime, but none of them ever turned out quite like this time. 🙂 I asked the boys (left to right: Jared, Jesse, and Ian) to pose for a picture this morning before church – to send to their parents who are […]
Meeting Friends from Canada
Friday, October 21 Our friend June Kuehl called us about a week before she and her daughter Maureen came to Lancaster County on a bus tour – from Ontario, Canada – to see if we could get together. Friday lunch worked for them and us. This is a pretty scene from our drive to Kitchen Kettle Village. While […]
A Beautiful, Cool, Autumn Morning
Wednesday, October 19 It’s interesting to look at pictures from a week and a half ago, because the corn was harvested a few days ago. (Stay tuned for pictures of that – probably a week from now.) I am thoroughly enjoying these beautiful mornings. Even the sky looks cool and beautiful these mornings.
Birthday Supper with Jeff & Chris
Wednesday Evening, October 19 Jeff chose Rooster Street Butcher for his birthday meal. This place always makes me feel like I have traveled to Europe. Our delicious cheese plate appetizer Chris’ red beet salad and smoked chicken sandwich I got seasoned fries and red beet salad. The men both had the steak and fries entree. Jeff chose […]

Going to Hear Nsimba Speak
Sunday Evening, October 16 When we learned that our soon-to-be-grandson-in-law was speaking at the Maine Ministry meeting at Pleasant Hill Church of the Brethren in York County, it didn’t take us long to decide to travel the one-hour-plus drive to hear him. The evening sky was cloudy and beautiful as the sun was setting. It was […]
Living Light
I thought about this verse as I pondered Sunday’s sermon by Ron Copenhaver. “Are you a follower or fan of Jesus?”
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Jeff
We love you! Daddy & Mother

A Visit With Roy & Deb
Friday Evening, October 14 Deb rescued these cute little guys when they were quite tiny. They are healthy and growing up – and play and tussle like puppiesl This is an older one. They have a few that are ready for release into the woods. They have quite the bird and animal sanctuary in their back yard. […]
A New Camera Lens
Friday, October 14 My Nikon 55-300 lens stopped working during the summer – no longer doing automatic focus. I played with it for awhile – using manual focus, but eventually got weary of that and took it to the repair shop. The cost of repair was more than we wanted to pay for an old lens. Cerwin did some […]
An Evening with Nate & Marcy
Thursday, October 13 First we had a delicious meal at Brickerville House Restaurant. We have known Marcy all her life, but it was fun spending an evening with them and learning more about her heart. After supper, we came back to our house and taught them to play Qwirkle. We closed our evening with root […]
Around Our Place
A collection of pictures from the past week that didn’t fit into another post. Cerwin had a TFC truck home for the weekend – so it would as here for the Sunday afternoon truck convoy to honor Elam Martin. (see my Monday post) It’s the time of year when Cerwin brings out his “red neck” […]
TFC Prayer Breakfast & Bake Sale
Saturday, October 8 We (Cerwin, Inge, and me) arrived at Menges Diner about 5:45 am – to get ahead of the breakfast crowd. Inge had been in a truck a time or two for a truck parade, but had never been on a regular ride over the road. We were pleased to help her check […]
Beautiful Fall Skies
I am enjoying the beautiful fall skies during the past few weeks. The sky spreading out above them looked as though it were made of crystal; it was inexpressibly beautiful. Ezekiel 1:22 Living Bible
Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Hannah
We love you, Grandpa & Grandma
Surprise Truck Convoy for Elam Martin, Jr
Sunday Afternoon, October 16 We received a Facebook invitation from friends from church – Kevin and Jeanette. Elam is her uncle. He was injured while loading underground water/sewer pipes on Tuesday, September 6, 2016, and sustained neck, back, and sternum fractures. There was surgery to repair his neck fractures, but he needs to wear a brace for 8-plus […]
